Salvatore Molettieri 2004 Vigna Cinque Querce Aglianico (Taurasi)

Price $72

Taurasi can sometimes be a gritty, raw wine with overdone power and heft. But this expression is soft and yielding thanks to its aromas of blackberry, vanilla, black stone and spice. The tannins are rock-solid and hard. A Marc de Grazia selection, various American importers. — M.L. (10/1/2008)

Salvatore Molettieri 1996 Vigna Cinque Querce Aglianico (Taurasi)

Price $32

The “vineyard of five oaks” yielded a rich, dark, earthy wine in ’96, with sweet notes of molasses, brown sugar and soy sauce. Full-bodied and low in acidity, with plenty of tannin to lose, the question is whether the tannins will ever soften enough to come into balance. — C.S. (5/1/2002)
